    I am Cantonese and our version of 年糕 is different. We put dates in traditional recipes, sometimes coconut milk in modern receipt. We put three different kinds of flour in the batter to balance texture.

    I made this exactly as Angel's measurements and it came out perfect! It was silky smooth and not super sweet at all. For those with a sweet tooth, either you can add a little bit more sugar to the recipe or just dust the tikoy with white sugar or confectioner's sugar prior to serving. I like it exactly as it is.

But this was my urgent craving and so this had to be tried out first. 🙂 Here in Missouri where I can not ever find Nian Gao anywhere!
